data

HD 109271 is a star in the constellation of Virgo. With an apparent magnitude of 8.05,[2] it cannot be seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements made by Gaia put the star at a distance of 185 light-years (56.7 parsecs) away.[1]

HD 109271 is a typical G-type main-sequence star. It has a mass of 1.047 M, but is twice as luminous as the Sun. It is also much older, at an age of 7.3 billion years.[2]

Planetary system

From 2003 to 2012, the star was under observance from the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS).[2]

In 2012, two eccentric hot Neptune-mass planets were deduced by radial velocity. They were published in January 2013. These are close to a 1:4 resonance. The system is like HD 69830.

A third Neptune in the Venus zone was hypothesised from the data.
